This is the shocking moment the crazed driver behind the deadly crash in New York City's Times Square tried to flee police after plowing into pedestrians for three blocks.

The driver, identified as 26-year-old Richard Rojas of the Bronx, was dramatically taken into custody on Thursday after crashing into pedestrians on the sidewalk, killing an 18-year-old girl and seriously injuring 22 others.

A crazed Rojas had allegedly attempted to flee police immediately after the crash and was pictured running across the road with his arms flailing.

Police said Rojas got into a fistfight with an officer as they struggled to arrest him, before he was eventually tackled to the ground and bundled into a squad car.

Rojas has now been taken to a testing facility where he will be screened for drug use, according to police.

Low hanging fruit is more like it. You do realize that not everyone with a latino sounding last name isn't an illegal?

And Daily Mail, as always, can't fucking decide what they want to blame. SYNTHETIC MJ isn't the same as regular pot. There's no indica, sativa or hybrid that makes people run folks down. It's some research chem sprayed on foliage that idiots try to smoke.
